The Helio Sequence’s Negotiations will be available on September 11th via Sub Pop on CD, LP and at all digital providers. You can find full track listing below.
Negotiations, the fifth full-length album written, recorded, and produced by The Helio Sequence, would sound different had it not been for a flood. In 2009, while touring in support of Keep Your Eyes Ahead, singer-guitarist Brandon Summers got an unexpected phone call in the middle of the night. Back home in Portland, OR, the bands studio/practice space was under nearly a foot of water. Heavy rains had caused the buildings plumbing to overflow like a geyser. But Summers and drummer-keyboardist, Benjamin Weikel, were lucky: All of their best equipment was either on tour with them, or racked high enough off the studio floor to be spared (read more at Sub Pop).
